Payment Authorization Failed

[KEVIN_FRANK]

I am unable to pre-purchase -Red Dead Redemption 2- for PC from -Rockstar Games Launcher- using my PayPal account, as it says -Payment Authorization Failed- for some reason.

Hi @KEVIN_FRANK,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community forum!

In general, there may be multiple reasons why you cannot make a purchase. For example, your funding source may not be active and in that case, please reach out to the issuer of the funding source that you chose. Otherwise, it may be that your account has been limited and in that case, simply complete the steps in your Resolution Centre to resolve the issue. Also, it may be that our system is preventing you from making a payment for security reasons. In this case, we would not be able to manually change the security settings, but you can try clearing your cache and cookies, deleting your browser history and waiting for 48 hours without accessing your account to let the system reset. This may help you solve the issue!

I hope this helps.

Hello Martina,

Thank you for replying.

I can confirm that my PayPal account Funding source is active. I've recently used PayPal express on https://store.ubi.com to purchase a few digital in-game items. It seems to be working fine as it did accept my debit card and everything. No errors have been encountered. But my problem still persists on Rockstar Games Launcher as it still says -Payment Authorization Failed-

Hey @KEVIN_FRANK,

Thanks for getting back to us with those details! If your payments are successful with other merchants, but not with Rockstar Games, it's possible that the problem is on their side. I would advise reaching out to them to report the problem and see what advice they have regarding their checkout process.
